Health Department...

I went to the health department today, i went with some friends that were getting shots for school; i went because I was going to watch a movie afterwards with them. I was reading some stuff about risk factors in catching the diseases they were getting vaccinated against, and they both said that male gay sex was a risk factor. And that just reminded me of the whole AIDS deal; them saying that it was punishment from god. I just found a really good quote about that.

If AIDS represents "God's condemnation of homosexual behavior," what do measles, mumps, small pox, tuberculosis, and polio represent, "God's condemnation" of "childish" behavior? Half the children who were born two hundred years ago never reached the age of eight, due mainly to diseases like those. When the influenza epidemic of 1918 to 1920 made half the world sick and killed nearly 40 million people what did THAT represent?
Was "God" "condemning" people for touching the same things and breathing the same air?
